The race has begun for state senator, featuring our current state senator Joan Carter Conway and one of our state representatives, Mary Washington who has declared her candidacy. We are collecting questions for Ms. Conway and Ms. Washington to gain clarity on their positions around transparency, freedom of information, committee and chairship, liquor licensing, fossil fuels, and other city and state issues. This is also a good time to advocate for the bills we feel should get priority in the session which begins in January.
